OG Kush

OG Kush or Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 19% – 26% (highly potent) and CBD levels ranging from < 1% (typically around 0.3%). Known for its Earthy, Pine, Lemon-Fuel, Skunky profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being 90cm – 160cm (Indoors); up to 200cm+ (Outdoors) in height, with a nutrient demand that is High. Particularly "hungry" for Magnesium and Calcium (Cal-Mag)..

This Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) is of the Genetype: Photoperiod (requires light cycle shift to flower). The OG Kush strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow OG Kush in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) is 6.0 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.2 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, OG Kush needs to maintain a target temperature of 72°F – 78°F (22°C – 25°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 65% – 70% RH, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling OG Kush needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing OG Kush is 18/6 or 24/0 (Light/Dark) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The OG Kush will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 70°F – 85°F (21°C – 29°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 45% – 55% RH (Lower than many hybrids to prevent mildew) is achieved, the Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Photoperiod (requires light cycle shift to flower) is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 18/6 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. OG Kush is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High. Responds well to Topping, LST, and SCROG to manage "stretch.".

The most exciting phase, when growing Photoperiod (requires light cycle shift to flower) is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. OG Kush will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 80°F (18°C – 26°C) (Prefers cooler nights) and 40% – 45% RH (Crucial to prevent bud rot/mildew) so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the OG Kush is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Bushy, dense, and "stretchy" during the first 3 weeks of flower.
